We're on fire!

 

I think Jack and Kamara have strolled it; their positioning, ability to receive the ball and keep it, recycle possession and play the pass has given a platform for Kent to rip them to shreds. 

 

 

I definitely think this is why Kamara has been drafted in.

He probably deserved to have a shot but I wished he would have played through Candeias (?). 

Up 3-0 and with that piece of Messi skill.... I’ll forgive him for taking the shot on.

 

Kent has been electric.

 

weve strolled it, early goals will help that in games...

[Rousseau 9,361]

Tavernier is noticeably higher on the right, whereas Halliday is deeper and narrower. 

 

Jack is coming wide right to take up that Tavernier position, which Hamilton are struggling to pick up. 

[Rousseau 9,361]

Our positional play is reminiscent of Man City in the build up (I'm not saying we're playing like Man City, but the build-up and offensive structure looks impressive -- and obviously we're playing with confidence because of the early goals): 

 

Defoe

 

Kent - Arfield - Candeias - Tavernier

 

Kamara - Jack

 

Halliday - Worrall - Goldson

[Rousseau 9,361]

Penalty!

 

I didn't see it at the time, but the replay shows a stone-waller. Well done Ref'.

[craig 5,195]

Penalty to Rangers

[Rousseau 9,361]

0-4, Tavernier. 

[craig 5,195]

Definite penalty too

[Rousseau 9,361]

Half-time, 0-4.

 

Absolutely brilliant performance, and clinical.
